Is this a gray market lens (out of US warranty)?

It is gray market and you are not able to get a warranty in the US. I sent an email to Circuit Street (the seller) to confirm and they verified it is an import. Unfortunately for me I had purchased already since I saw zero mention of that in the actual listing, whereas every other gray market/import listing on Amazon calls that out. Incredibly deceptive, and now I need to wait 1-2 weeks while Amazon processes my cancelled order and gives me my Amazon credit back before I can go and purchase a legit lens from another seller.

I received a warranty card with mine. I have several Canon lenses....and since I bought this one, I usually only use this one. I gave the tiny tri_pod away

Amazon says that all Nikkor lenses they themselves sell are Nikon USA lenses, i.e. imported by Nikon USA for sale in the USA. But if the lens is sold by a third party, you have to be careful - ask questions of the retailer if it's not clear from the offer whether it's Nikon USA or not. Only lenses imported by Nikon USA will be covered by the Nikon USA warranty. Also, Nikon USA service centers will not service grey market lenses (i.e. lenses not imported by Nikon USA) at all!

This is a grey market item. Canon will not offer any warenty. I have one and have had no issue with the lens for a year.

The Tamron 90mm macro lens that I purchased through Amazon came with a USA warranty. It was not a gray market item. Some dealers may or may not sell gray market goods but a reputable dealer should give you the choice.

Mine also came in a white box but the box was labeled grey market and no warranty card was enclosed. It was purchased direct from Amazon. I called Canon and was told they will not provide any warranty for a grey market lens.

Mine has a us serial number, however there are plenty of grey models. Look for a serial number starting with us. I bought mine used, came with hood, no soft cover. I love the lens. Built quality is excellent. Better than the newer 10-24.

Gray Market products are not covered by US warranties. You would have to ship the Gray market product out of the country for warranty repairs.

Imported does not equal grey market. Yes, it's imported, as are all cameras & lenses. But it's imported through Nikon so it's an official import, which means it comes with a US warranty and can be repaired in this country by any Nikon dealer. It's a great lens.

Yes, if this lens is bought new and is not "grey market". Grey market meaning that if this lens was originally sold in Europe and it found its way into the USA or to any other country then no it will not get the warranty.

Not that I know of. It was sent from Focus Camera in an opened package, but all warranty documentation was present, indicating that it is was a grey market lens.

Not grey market. Brand new Tokina with 3-year warranty. This is definitely a Pro level lens. Big. Heavy. Durable. Mine came with a pretty good lens cover. Use it to protect the front element, as this lens will not take filters, much like the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8. I'm a photojournalist, not a "pixel-peeker." In real-life image making, it's as sharp and robust as any Nikon or Canon lens I've ever used. Auto-focus not quite as fast or silent as a Nikon or Canon, but at this focal length range, those things aren't as crucial. Haven't missed any shots due to those issues. Highly recommended if you can't afford a Nikon or Canon equivalent. Not grey market. Brand new Tokina with 3-year warranty. This is definitely a Pro level lens. Big. Heavy. Durable.

Amazon does not source gray market items, so it would come with a USA Warranty. However, if you are buying from any other sellers make sure you verify.

I bought one with US warranty. I do not know if a gray market lens is available with international warranty. Check at large camera store web sites (like Adorama or B&H).

The lens I purchased from Amazon came with a 6 year USA warranty, as confirmed in a letter from Tamron, after the lens was registered.

Not sure if you are asking "Made" in USA or "meant" for USA (vs gray market). It will be a "US lens", meaning it is meant for the US market and warranted in US market. Not sure if Tamron makes lenses specific to different markets (like Nikon and Canon). The lens is made in China. Build quality is very good and image quality is excellent, exceeded my expectations but made in China.
